Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We had a great one-bedroom suite, that was very clean and well stocked. The lodge is beautiful, with lots of activities & gathering places. I love that there are no TVs—our family played games, used the hots tubs and spa, hung out and read in the cozy common lounge, and made s’mores (provided by the lodge) every night at the firepit. The staff was also very pleasant and helpful. The only complaints are the sofa bed (not comfortable) and the finicky coffee maker in the room. 100%recommend the Rush Creek Lodge!!
